Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2-3 cups of whole milk and ½ cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally, bringing the mixture to a steaming temperature without letting it boil—this should take about 3 minutes.
  2. While the milk heats up, take a separate bowl and whisk together ½ cup of high-quality cocoa powder and 1-2 tablespoons of grated milk chocolate. Gradually add ½ cup of the warmed milk mixture to the chocolate blend and whisk until it achieves a smooth consistency, taking around 2 minutes.
  3. Slowly whisk the chocolate mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk, ensuring a seamless blend. Add in the entire can of sweetened condensed milk along with ⅓ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir for about 3 minutes over medium-low heat.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, allowing the hot chocolate to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent any sticking or burning.
  5. Pour your Disneyland’s hot chocolate into mugs, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. Serve hot.
